The current build of the game without blood effects is officially PEGI 16, which means the game can demonstrate the act of violence that one would expect in an equivalent real life situation. Its something we can't argue with and neither can CA. Decapitation takes it to 18, check your film ratings and you'll find the same thing.Įven if you think it's nothing, even if you think it should be in there anyway, the rating system says otherwise. That's not something creative assembly control. Whether you like it or not, legally it changes the age rating. Regardless of what name you give to it, its an addon/DLC/extra content that increases the age rating. I still think some of you are missing the point here. GRAPHICAL 'DLC' - Adds 'red effect on weapons and seeing people decapitated' - while cool, should be a free update, and not cost us any money at all, to say they would have lost 'players' due to that is lunacy, its a deep strategy game, it already has a really strong fanbase, adding 2 years on the age raiting would proberly have cost them 0.2% of there player base, if even that.ĪH.right sorry for going off on one, but this kind of corperate crap makes my blood boil, and i just cant see how they can justify this as dlc! Ive never been able to get into total war games no matter how hard i tried (20 hours plus on rome 1 before steam ), I played rome 1, and shogun 2, both are much more enjoyable than this bug ridden affiar, after all the videos on it, and my friend who plays it all the time tells me about it, CA need to have a long hard look at themselves for selling this 'Graphical update', caus thats all it is! - AS DLC !ĭLC - Adds Content to the game, extra missions, units, factions, weapons, bosses, storylines, text, backstory, lore etc. Whats next? Whos to say they wont charge for Music as dlc, or even a settings menu as dlc? - Hell to start the game you need to buy the 'start game DLC', even thou you have paid £30+ for half a broken game already, here let us suck more money from you while we laugh and 'smile and wave'. I think its a sorry state of affairs to charge for this non dlc, in a still broken game, that has not lived up to the hype and stature that we was all promised, i was going to get this game, until i saw this 'option setting dlc for £1.99!' This should be manditory in the game settings, its a violent game, from a violent age, there not hitting each other with feathers are they? I mean HELLO? Theres gonna be blood if these types of things are hitting peoples faces!! lol

This adds nothing to the game that shouldnt already be there considering its a hack and slash affiar with shields, swords, axes, spears. This game oozes violence from the get go, so to hide this 'DLC' behind a ESRB raiting is just plan outrageous.

I think the misconception here is, this is not 'DLC', it is a Graphical addon!.
